Re-greasing door jambs

[smdetail]

After cleaning door jambs, what do you use to re-lubricate the hinges (grease, silicone spray, etc.) ? Is lithium-based grease better?

I like to use the "dry chain lube" that I use on my bike chain.

After some research some places recommend a penetrating lube or graphite lubricant.

I also use dry chain lube that I use on my bike. I use it in the engine bay, door hinges and my gas cap door.



It minimizes dirt attraction and lubes extremely well. It doesn't last as long but you'll know when you need to reapply. A little goes a long ways BTW.



The brand I use is Tri-Flow

Also check your owners manual - it often has a list of lubes recommended for each part of your car.

my factory service manual says to use white lithium grease. yours might be different.
